Chapter 619 Expert versus expert (asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket)
"Master Yan, what is Xie Laocai trying to do by calling us here like he's on fire?"
"I'm also puzzled. I heard that Xie Laocai has become a big noble in the past two years. As a result, a leather goods merchant in Beiping Prefecture has become more developed. There is no business in the market that he doesn't interfere with. It's said that he was rich before.
But Qingcheng is almost as rich as the country now, is it... that you think the Xie family in Chen County is not big enough, and you want to find a more proud ancestor?"
"No way, the Xie family is more famous than the Xie family of Chen County, headed by Xie An and Xie Xuan."
"Well..., unless he changes his surname, if he changes his surname to Li, I will be able to prove that he is a descendant of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. If he changes his surname to Zhao, I will be able to conclude that he is a descendant of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty!"
Someone chuckled and said, "It's such a waste of time. If he doesn't change his name in office or his surname in office, I can also disown him as a descendant of the emperors of the Tang and Song Dynasties. Hehe! Since ancient times, emperors, once their country was overthrown and their clans were in exile, in order to avoid disaster, they changed their surnames.
There are quite a few people who have changed their names, and as long as you search carefully, you can always find some relevant evidence!"
In the huge banquet hall of the Xie family, the very familiar friends were drinking tea, eating seasonal fruits from the north and the south, chatting and joking with each other, waiting for Xie Chuanzhong to reveal the answer to the mystery.【】
These people are all dissatisfied people. They have not developed in their official career and have turned to look for other opportunities. They erect monuments, write epitaphs, inscribe chastity memorials, wedding letters, family letters and obituaries..., they can always do something.
They get some money to polish their writing, but their biggest business is helping others identify their ancestors.
After more than a hundred years of rule by the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people became the original masters again. The inheritance of the Han people was somewhat discontinuous. Those who made great contributions to conquering the world became high-ranking officials, and those who seized the opportunity to do business made a fortune. Many people have
After gaining power, what you want most is an identity that will boost your reputation and a certification of your bloodline.
During the founding of the Ming Dynasty, many wealthy and aristocratic families had such needs, and these "experts" who specialized in helping people verify their ancestors came into being. This kind of business does not open for three years, but lasts for three years after opening, and not one or two years.
I just met such a person who was looking for his ancestors, but such a customer would definitely not be short of money. If he made a deal, the generous reward would be enough for them to live comfortably for several years.
However, they are not just talking nonsense. Such evidence is not convincing. These people are not only familiar with the historical events of various dynasties, geographical changes, and population movements recorded in history books. In order to increase their knowledge in this area, they also read
More ancient books, and even a letter home and a poem written by an ancient person are all included in their research.
For example, an ancient person accidentally mentioned in a book that "When I returned to my post in autumn, I encountered a flood on the road and there were refugees migrating, so my trip was delayed." Such a casual remark, after they carefully studied the ancestral home of this high official, it was revealed that at that time
Wherever you work as an official and which route you take on your way back and forth, you can deduce the irrefutable evidence of a flood on a certain year, month and day that is not recorded in history books and county annals, as well as the number of refugees who left their hometowns and moved to where.
Precisely because these people have this ambition, and the purpose of studying all ancient historical materials is also this, their expertise in this area is indeed far beyond that of those officials who have read poetry and books. Chen Shou looked for those celebrities, but it was
You may ask blind people, but these people are specialized in doing this.
However, this group of experts who specialize in helping people identify their ancestors never expected that Xie Chuanzhong came to them today not to help people identify their ancestors, but to make trouble for a group of experts who specialize in identifying others as their ancestors.
They were talking and laughing when Xie Chuanzhong walked in.
As soon as Xie Chuanzhong came in, the living room immediately became quiet. These people had no respect for Xie Chuanzhong in private, but when they saw him, they did not dare to show contempt.
Wealth is also a kind of power. For those who seek wealth, it is an unstoppable trend.
However, they soon discovered that today's owner may not be Xie Laocai.
There was also a person standing next to Xie Chuanzhong. He was a handsome young man in Taoist uniform and with a flowing scarf in his hair. He was elegant and unrestrained.
The hall is full of guests, and the master is at the door. This person walked in with the master, but it seems that he is the master here. He walks calmly, calmly, and acts as if there is no one else around. However, the master here, Xie Chuanzhong,
Like his follower, his back is slightly bowed, half a step behind him, and he has no sense of the dove occupying the magpie's nest.
This kind of aura is not an innate aura of a king. There is no such person in the world. Even if he is a prince, if he is thrown into a heap of beggars as soon as he is born, he is still a beggar. At most, he is a father.
Yingwei, I am handsome enough to leave him with a full sky and a round earth, but no matter what you do, he is still a beggar.
Xia Xun's temperament was gradually developed after he had been in a high position for a long time and was always surrounded by subordinate officials wherever he went. He did not have such a status and did not stay in such a position for several years to cultivate and cultivate him. Unless
You are a movie star-level actor like Xie Xie, otherwise you would not be able to learn anything.
Xia Xun glanced at it lightly. Everyone felt that he had touched them, but at the same time they felt that he didn't care about anyone. What was originally a pretentious respect turned into a truly heartfelt awe. It was just a perfunctory thing at first.
When standing up, some people just bend their knees slightly, ready to sit down at any time. At this time, they quietly stand up straight, and push the chair with their knees and move back slightly, making a friction sound.
"Everyone!"
Xie Chuanzhong's face was red and he was trembling with excitement. Although Xie Chuanzhong was a rough man who could not read or write, he knew how to use his discretion. He had not dared to tell anyone about his affair with Duke Fu without Xia Xun's permission.
, Xia Xun told him today that he could announce it to others, and Xie Chuanzhong was naturally very excited.
Xie Chuanzhong bowed to the guests in the hall and said with a smile: "All of you, laborers, are here today because Xie has something to ask for your help. To be precise, this is not Xie's business, but Xie's great-uncle."
…”
Xie Chuanzhong took a step to the side and bowed his hands respectfully towards Xia Xun: "Everyone knows that Xie is a descendant of the Xie family in Chen County. What everyone doesn't know is that our family has an aunt who now lives in Jinling.
The husband that my aunt Xie married is the current Duke of Fuguo!"
At this time, all the guests in the hall were really excited. Everyone almost stared out their eyes: "Fuxinguo Gong? Is this young man Fuguo Gong?"
They were in Beijing and had heard the most about Liaodong affairs. Of course they knew that Yang Xu, the imperial governor who was flourishing in Liaodong, was the auxiliary prince of the country. They helped to find Xie Laocai's cheap ancestor, but they didn't expect it.
For this reason, he became a relative of a prince. What kind of bad luck did Xie Laocai have?
Xie Chuanzhong was very satisfied with everyone's performance. He stood with a smile and satisfied his vanity for a while, then he coughed and said: "Dear friends, this... is Duke Fu!"
Only then did everyone wake up and hurriedly left the table one by one, bowed and saluted, and kept talking: "The common people have seen Mr. Fuguo!"
"No gifts, no gifts, we are all loyal friends, don't be polite!"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Everyone, be quiet, please listen to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell into silence. Xia Xun said: "Everyone, I have called Chuanzhong to invite everyone here today because my country has an important matter and I want your help!"
Xia Xun took a few steps forward and said: "My Lord is now envoying to Liaodong, and everyone must have heard about it. Liaodong is our country's inherent territory, but now, North Korea has sent an envoy to see him, claiming that the Yalu River and the vast area to the west of the Tumen River
The territory is their land, and the people in that territory should also belong to them. They even said that the ancestral grave of their Korean king is still in my territory of Liaodong. In other words, the entire Liaodong should be their territory!"
With Xia Xun's words, everyone in the hall immediately exploded.
These ordinary people do not hold high positions and do not enjoy the blessings of the people, but their national feelings are simple and selfless, simple and direct. What is ours is ours. Even if that place is lost, it is no big deal, but they are better than
Those officials who were in their positions and responsible for their duties were even more indignant. When they heard that someone was trying to steal something from their country, they immediately became furious and started shouting and cursing.
"Those sons of bitches, beat them up!"
"How shameless! My lord, the Tatars are so fierce that they are no match for you. Even North Korea is nothing. If they don't accept it, beat them until they do!"
"My lord..."
Xia Xun pressed his hands down and said: "Quiet, everyone! I am the Ming Dynasty, the Kingdom of Heaven, North Korea is my Ming Dynasty's vassal state, fighting is impossible, His Majesty the Emperor must convince people with reason, but now the government has searched through the "Geography" of Liao and Jin Dynasties
"Geographical Chronicles"..., as everyone knows, although the Liao and Jin dynasties had some customs, they were always very poor in terms of teaching. "Geographical Chronicles" is simple and sloppy, and the jurisdiction and governance of the areas mentioned by North Korea and the tribes at that time,
There is no record at all.
North Korea took advantage of this and claimed that these places were not national territory in the first place, but that the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty took them from their hands by force. Now we, the Ming Dynasty, have expelled the Tartars and replaced the world as a state of etiquette.
Chaotian Kingdom should return to them the land they took back from the bandits.
Everyone, there is nothing to be afraid of North Korea. It is easy for us to send them away with their unreasonable demands! The emperor just says a word, and they have to leave obediently. Even if he has the courage, he will not dare to criticize. However, the emperor cannot do this.
, they did not come with troops, but came to reason with us.
Whose place was this Liaodong in the past? We have to provide evidence to convince them. Otherwise, even if you drive them away and drive away their people, you can't stop their mouths. They cry everywhere about our Ming Dynasty.
Bullying others, doesn't that bring shame on the emperor?"
Everyone in the hall fell silent after hearing this, and Xia Xun said: "You are all knowledgeable people, especially good at history, geography, and human changes. Therefore, I would like to ask you to help me with this!"
Xie Chuanzhong interjected: "Don't worry, everyone, this salary will definitely not be missing from everyone!"
Everyone said one after another: "Thank you for being polite. I didn't say anything about this. This is to help our Ming Dynasty and ourselves. We have to find out the real evidence and tell them to get out of here in despair!"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "You used to help people find their ancestors. Now, let's take the trouble to teach those who mistakenly identify their ancestors, so that they don't have to worry about others all day long! Please
Got it!"
